Champions

~ Gottfried

A true champion is someone that sweats from exhaustion when no one is watching. Hairy. Winning is great sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to take losses. Champions never complain, they are too busy getting better. 

To me, a peanut butter sandwich is the breakfast of a champion. Diet. They say nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they’d make up their minds. When arguing with your parents, remember: highly skilled debaters are just champions of the silent treatment.  

Champions behave like champions before they are champions. Not Arsenal FC. They don’t hand out medals to those who were feeling the best on the day, nor to those who were thinking clearly and positively. The medals only go to those who did the best. Pressure is privilege. 

I feel like I’m the best, but you’re not going to get me to say that. I am. It’s not enough to be successful, my enemies also have to fail. When you lose, talk little. When you win, talk less. When your enemies lose, celebrate wildly in their faces and have a blast. It’s a precious dying art form. 

Every day is an opportunity disguised as a challenge. I’m losing it. Champions are champions not because they do anything extraordinary but because they do the ordinary things better than everyone else. You should see me make a paper plane. I’m just different with it. 

To be a champion, compete; to be a great champion, compete with the best; but to be the greatest champion; compete with yourself. It always seems impossible until it’s done. You must do the very thing you think you cannot do. Don’t overthink or worry about the future.

Impossible!

  5. Being a champion is too much work and unhappiness. Every day you must look in the mirror and say you’re not good enough. I’m good the way I am and I don’t have to prove it to anyone. If you want nothing you’re always successful when trying to get it. 🤣😎🙃
